Confluence

When multiple independent signals agree (e.g. trendline + Fib 0.618 + RSI divergence). Higher confluence = higher-probability setup.

Confluence is the art of stacking multiple INDEPENDENT signals on the same level. Each signal alone is noisy; three or four independent signals at the same price = institutional-grade probability.

Example of clean confluence: bullish Order Block + 0.618 Fib retracement + bullish RSI divergence + tag of the lower Bollinger Band, all happening at the same price level. That's a sniper entry. Most profitable traders aren't using exotic strategies — they're patiently waiting for confluence to stack.
